PREFACE 


The  preparation  of  the  Book  which  is  now  submitted  to  the 
Class  has  been  a  pleasurable  work.  The  hearty  cooperation 
of  all  has  made  it  really  a  Class  Book,  as  well  as  a  Class  History. 
Much  is  due,  also,  to  the  valuable  suggestions  received  from 
the  Secretaries  of  the  Classes  of  1903  and  1905,  and  to  the 
constant  help  of  the  Dean  of  the  college,  and  Professor  W.  B. 
Bailey.  To  Air.  Thompson,  of  the  Alumni  \Yeekly,  for  his 
aid,  to  C  W.  Somers  for  drawings,  and  to  the  men  who  have 
assisted  in  the  statistical  and  subscription  work,  we  express 
thanks. 

In  a  work  of  this  nature  errors  of  fact  are  very  likely  to 
occur.  History  means  accuracy,  and  it  is  urged  that  each 
man  in  the  Class,  upon  noting  any  error,  will  immediately  com- 
municate with  the  Class  Secretary. 

After  the  graduation  of  the  Class,  frequent  correspondence 
will  be  the-  surest  means,  not  only  of  keeping  each  member  in 
touch  with  all  others,  but  of  insuring  accuracy  of  future  Class 
Records.  Each  man  is  requested  to  inform  the  Secretary 
regarding  change  of  address,  and  anything  of  general  interest 
to  1906,  concerning  himself  or  other  members  of  the  Class.

i  i  At  first.tlie  infant 


What  were  our  first  impressions  of  Yale  and  New  Haven 
when  we  descended  from  our  train  and  timidly  asked  the  street- 
car conductor  if  this  car  went  near  York  Street?  We  have  a 
dim  memory  of  gray  skies,  cold  drizzles  and  great  crowds  in 
which  we  seemed  to  be  the  only  ones  who  did  not  know  everyone 
else  and  carry  pipes  in  our  mouths.  But  it  did  not  take  us  long 
to  feel  that  at  last  we  could  be  called  among  the  number  of 
those  fortunate  beings,  college  men,  and  even  among  that  still 
more  fortunate  body,  Yale  men.  By  the  time  we  had  acquired 
felt  hats  from  Chase's  we  could  walk  Chapel  Street,  arm-in-arm, 
with  the  best  of  them,  and  fondly  imagine  we  were  disguised  as 
upperciassmen.  In  the  daytime,  that  is  ;  at  night  this  quickly- 
gained  mantle  of  assurance  fell  off  as  rapidly,  and  we  crouched 
in  our  rooms  in  terror,  quaking  in  our  shoes  each  time  the  dread 
cry  of  "Fresh,  put  out  that  light,"  reached  our  ears,  or  the  tones 
of  "Wake,  Freshmen,  Wake,"  seemed  to  swell  in  volume  as  it 
grew  nearer.  On  September  25th,  this  body  of  four  hundred 
units  for  the  first  time  met  together,  marshalled  by  torch-bear- 
ing, "Y"-sweatered  giants,  fell  in  at  the  end  of  the  procession, 
and  gave  in  hearty,  if  not  regular  accord,  the  Yale  cheer.  In  the 
Hopkins  Grammar  School  lot,  Whitcomb,  Thatcher  and  Banks 
went  down  in  defeat  in  wrestling  bouts  with  the  Sophomore 
champions.  But  this  rather  inauspicious  opening  of  our  glori- 
ous career  did  not  dampen  our  enthusiasm,  for  the  Freshman 
Class  of  1906  had  started  its  life  at  Yale,  and  we  were  members 
of  it. 


History  of  the  Class  of  1906. 

If  this  short  sketch  is  to  be  at  all  intelligible,  and  if  any 
comprehensive  idea  of  what  we  accomplished  Freshman  year 
is  to  be  gained  from  it,  I  must  altogether  disregard  chrono- 
logical order,  since  onr  activities  were  so  varied  and  numerous 
that  if  they  should  be  given  in  the  order  they  occurred,  the 
reader  would  find  himself  struggling  to  wade  through  the  mass 
of  data,  and  would  emerge  at  the  end  with  a  sigh  of  relief,  and 
know  no  more  about  what  his  class  accomplished  than  when 
he   began.      To   take   up   our   literary    activities   then,    Greely,

Stimson  and  Wallis  were  busy  burning  the  midnight  oil  and 
sending  in  contributions  to  the  Lit.  and  C  our  ant;  some  were 
accepted  by  the  former,  more  by  the  latter.  Flocks  of  dishev- 
eled News  "heelers"  were  turned  loose  to  harry  an  unoffend- 
ing college,  ride  recklessly  around  on  antiquated  bicycles,  and 
worry  upperclassmen.  At  the  end  of  the  first  race,  Perrin 
came  out  successfully ;  in  the  second  competition,  Brown, 
Van  Tassel  and  Wilson  were  elected  to  positions  on  the 
Board.  Magee  went  on  the  Glee  Club  Christmas  trip  in 
the  capacity  of  first  tenor.  On  the  Apollo  Glee  Club  we 
were  represented  by   Sprague  and   McGee.     McGee  was  later

in  the  year  transferred  to  the  University  Glee  Club.  On  the 
Apollo  Banjo  and  Mandolin  Clubs,  Dustin,  Banks  and  Fitch 
were  enrolled.  The  Academic  men  on  the  Freshman  Glee  Club 
were  Magee,  Walters,  Dickinson,  MacLane,  Scarborough,  Ely, 
Hamlin,  Squire,  King,  Warren,  Monzani,  Halsey,  Sherrill, 
Drew,  Mills,  Stevens,  Kochersperger,  Turner,  Terry,  Macgurn, 
Tileston,  Tuttle,  Brinsmade  and  La  Vie ;  on  the  Mandolin  Club, 
H.  Brown,  G.  T.  Brown,  Ferry,  Van  Tassel,  Bruce,  Culbertson, 
Embree,  Freeman,  Phelps,  Westcott,  Young,  Turner,  Wescott. 


FRESHMAN    BANJO   AND    MANDOLIN    CLUB. 

From  the  Dramatic  Club  trials,  Brooks  and  Stevenson  emerged 
successfully,  though  neither  took  part  in  the  play  given  that 
year.  A  glance  at  the  names  of  members  of  the  Freshman 
Religions  Committee  reveals  some  startling  information,  but 
the  list  will  not  be  printed  in  this  history  for  fear  of  covering 
with  confusion  some  members  of  the  McCarthy,  Friday  Night 
Club,  or  the  Hogans.  Space  does  not  admit  that  this  list  be 
continued  further ;  it  could  be  carried  on  ad  infinitum,  for  there 
was  scarcely  an  organization  in  college  in  which  you  could  not 
find  a  member  of  the  Class  of  1906.

History  of  the  Class  of  1906. 

In  athletics  our  record  is  equally  lustrous :  Shevlin  and  Rock- 
well not  only  played  splendid  games  through  the  entire  season 
as  end  and  quarterback  on  the  Football  Team,  but  also  were 
inscribed  in  the  All- America  team  by  unanimous  consent  of 
football  critics.  Rowland  and  Marcus  represented  the  Fresh- 
man Class  on  the  University  Hockey  Team.  The  University 
Baseball  Team  made  use  of  O'Brien  at  second  base  throughout 
the  season,  and  of  Shevlin  for  a  short  period  when  the  track 
season  was  over.     Shevlin  won  the  hammer-throwing  event  in

the  dual  track  meet  with  Harvard,  and  gained  second  in  the 
same  event  in  the  Intercollegiate  Meet.  Under  the  manage- 
ment of  E.  White  and  Magee  as  Secretary,  the  Freshman  Foot- 
ball Team  went  through  the  season  with  one  defeat  up  to  the 
time  of  the  championship  games.  It  defeated  St.  Paul,  Betts, 
Hotchkiss  and  Andover.  The  next  week  Andover  revenged 
herself,  and  in  the  following  two  games  the  team  lost  to  the 
Princeton  Freshmen,  5  to  o,  and  to  the  Harvard  Freshmen, 
10  to  22.  Hoyt,  Corning,  Stevenson,  McGee,  Twichell,  P. 
Smith,  Turner,  Moorhead,  Heckscher,  Downing  and  McClin- 
tock   received   numerals    for   football.     The   Freshman   Hockev

Team  was  captained  by  Dousman.  The  Baseball  Team  had  as 
its  officers,  Turner,  President ;  Rockwell,  Secretary  and  Cap- 
tain. This  team  lost  one  of  the  championship  series,  and  tied 
the  other,  winning  one  game  with  the  Princeton  Freshmen  at 
Princeton  by  a  score  of  5  to  3.  Rockwell,  Waldo,  Whittlesey, 
Magee,  Moorhead,  Dousman,  Thompson  and  B.  D.  Smith  were 
awarded  numerals  for  this  sport.  W.  K.  Johnson  managed  the 
Freshman  Crew,  with  Fulton  as  Secretary.  The  Freshman 
Eieht   easily    defeated    Harvard    in    the   annual    race    at    Xew

London.     Those  who  received  the  class  insignia  were   Chase, 
Gregory,  Low,  Weeks,  Wrarner,  Heckscher  and  Ely. 

On  Washington's  Birthday  two  of  our  Class  maintain,  with 
reliable  witnesses,  that  they  fought  their  way  to  the  Sophomore 
Fence  and  held  their  position  in  spite  of  all  efforts  of  the 
enraged  Class  of  1905.  Whether  this  legend  is  true  or  not,  the 
fact  remains  that  we  all  struggled,  pushed,  tramped  through 
slush,  and  bore  away  the  marks  of  Sophomore  canes,  for  the 
honor  of  1906.  Of  less  doubtful  origin  is  the  story  of  the 
great  victory  we  gained  over  that  same  class  on  Omega  Lambda 
Chi  night.     The  great  struggle  was  a  tug-of-war  between  these 

—13— 


History  of  the  Class  of  1906. 

two  classes,  and  none  of  us  will  forget,  if  we  die  of  old  age, 
the  thrill  of  pride  and  joy  of  victory  that  surged  through  us 
as  we  felt  the  rope  start  in  our  direction ;  first  slowly,  inch 
by  inch,  then  gradually  gaining  speed,  we  swept  from  the 
Campus  to  York  Street  with  the  rope  in  our  possession,  a  few 
stubborn  Sophomores  still  clinging  to  it  and  being  dragged 
through  the  mud  on  their  backs.  Throughout  our  entire  college 
course,  frayed  pieces  of  this  rope  have  been  festooned  about 
our  gas  fixtures.     But  better  than  any  of  these  days  of  glorious 


FRESHMAN    BASEBALL   TEAM. 


victory  was  the  day  when  Wilson  McClintock  received  the 
fence  in  our  behalf ;  examinations  were  over,  pipes  with  1906 
numerals  in  every  mouth,  and  joy  in  every  heart  that  now  we 
were  to  begin  our  real  connection  with  Yale  as  Sophomores. 

Our  life  together  at  Yale  is  nearly  passed ;  there  are  many 
scenes  and  pleasures  throughout  our  course  that  we  cherish  in 
memory ;  but  there  are  few  scenes  we  can  look  back  on  with 
such  fondness,  and  few  pleasures  which  are  so  undiluted,  as 
those  of  Freshman  year.  Freed  by  our  situation  from  all 
restraint  on  the  part  of  upperclassmen,  with  not  enough  con- 
nection with  the  University  to  keep  us  busily  engaged  in  its 

—14—

work,  but  with  enough  to  make  us  learn  to  love  it  and  want 
to  know  it  better,  Freshman  year  stands  apart  from  the  other 
three.  What  if  we  did  worship  false  gods?  They  were  not 
false  to  us — they  were  robed  in  their  blaze  of  light,  and  the 
mantle  of  glamor  was  over  them  so  we  could  not  see  their 
feet  of  clay.  And  though  we  have  come  to  see  that  the  gods 
are  of  earth,  yet  the  mantle  of  light  can  never  be  quite  torn 
off,  and  we  still  have  a  tender  affection  for  those  old  idols  of 
ours.  We  have  come  to  worship  other  gods  by  this  time,  but 
alas,  our  youthful  dreams  were  rudely  shattered  in  many  cases 
so  that  our  idols  now  can  never  draw  the  mantles  quite  close 
enough  to  hide  the  feet  of  clay.  So  we  will  ever  keep  a  tender 
affection  for  the  folly  and  fun,  and  even  the  mistakes  of 
Freshman  year,  when  we  first  became  sons  of  Eli,  and  learned 
to  love  the  old  College.

Fresh  from  the  apron  strings  of  division  officers  and  with 
some  of  our  number  not  yet  weaned  from  the  fostering  care 
of  the  Freshman  Faculty,  Nineteen  Hundred  and  Six  toddled 
forth — a  most  precocious  infant — in  this,  the  second  year  of 
its  collegiate  life.  With  our  naturally  winning  ways  we  at  once 
proceeded  to  take  a  fall  out  of  the  latest  addition  to  the  house- 
hold of  Father  Eli — the  Freshmen — for  both  Daskaloff  and 
Morrison  won  their  bouts  in  the  wrestling  contests.  Thus, 
having  successfully  survived  our  debut  before  the  lime-lights 
of  publicity,  the  play  was  on,  and  henceforward  many  and 
various  were  the  activities  in  which  we  took  part.  So  many, 
in  fact,  that  the  writer  must  resist  the  temptation  "to  blossom 
forth  a  bit"  and  confine  this  review  strictly  to  an  enumeration 
of  the  stellar  roles  and  the  men  who  played  them. 

The  curtain  rose  to  the  strains  of  "Pro  Yalensis."  Dustin 
and  Banks  appeared  on  the  Banjo  Club,  while  Sprague,  Magee, 
Arms,  Cowles  and  Kochersperger,  midst  the  ranks  of  the  Glee 
Club,  showed  up  well  for  us  behind  the  footlights.  After  this 
burst  of  song  and  merriment,  thoughts  naturally  turned  to  our 
first  award  of  social  honors,  and  the  Sophomore  German  Com- 
mittee, consisting  of  B.  D.  Smith,  E.  White,  Stevenson,  Turner 
and  Magee,  was  chosen.  To  further  fortify  ourselves  against 
the  enticements  of  Lenox  Hall,  Class  Deacons  became  an  essen- 
tial. So  the  four  handsomest  men  in  the  Class  were  chosen 
to  lead  the  opposing  forces  of  Dwight  Hall,  and  Gurley, 
McClure,  Banks  and  Magee  easily  qualified.     Thus,  well  pro-

Sophomore   Year. 

viclecl  for,  socially  and  religiously,  1906  began  to  do  things  in 
athletics.  On  the  gridiron  "Rock"  tore  off  the  plays  in  his 
own  inimitable  style,  while  "Shev"  (literally  and  figuratively) 
"killed"  the  ends.  In  the  handicap  fall  games,  Fawley  won 
the  broad  jump,  with  Banks  occupying  third  place.  Weeks, 
Chase,  Ely,  Gregory  and  Low  rowed  on  our  victorious  Class 
Crew  in  the  Fall  Regatta,  and  a  little  later  in  the  year  Flinn, 
Marcus  and  Rowland  began  to  rough  it  up  a  bit  on  the  Hockey 
Team.  At  the  same  time  the  basketball  squad  included  Ander- 
son and  Humpstone. 


THE    SOPHOMORE    GERMAN    COMMITTEE. 


Then  came  the  organization  and  speedy  disorganization  of 
the  Wranglers  and  the  Wigwam,  chiefly  notable  for  the  arduous 
labors  of  "Colonel"  Alden  as  Secretary.  Speaking  of  the 
"Colonel"  reminds  us  of  that  famous  football  team  which 
practiced  every  afternoon  in  front  of  the  Hutch  with  "Moose" 
as  head  coach.  Strange  to  relate,  but  one  game  was  ever 
scheduled — at  Wallingford — and  then  George  alone  showed  up. 
O  Tempora !  O  Mores !  .  .  .  During  the  fall,  too,  the 
spirited  McCarthy  Club  valiantly  upheld  its  motto — "Capillum 
in  Pectore,"    and  e'en  on  one  memorable  occasion,  decorated

with  fitting  ceremonies  the  manly  breast  of  one  of  its  mem- 
bers— the  future  manager  of  the  Tennis  Association. 

But  we  must  hasten  on.  Nimble  Thespians  tread  the  stage — 
Bouscaren,  Andrews  and  Markoe  were  in  the  French  Play, 
while  Stevenson,  Brooks  and  R.  W.  Wescott  materially  aided 
the  Dramatic  Association  in  its  presentation  of  "New  Men 
and  Old  Acres."  .  .  .  The  lights  blaze  up  in  an  unusual 
burst  of  brilliancy — then  the  cold,  grey  dawn  of  the  morning 
after : — and  our  first  Prom,  was  a  thing  of  the  past.  Then 
came  the  Apollo  Clubs,  with  Fitch,  A.  L.  Westcott,  Field, 
Bruce,  Van  Tassel,  Phelps,  Embree,  W.  D.  Harris,  Coursen, 
Dickinson,  A.  W.  Andrews,  Mills,  Turner,  Ely,  Brinsmade, 
Sherrill,  Higgins,  Walcott  and  McGee — in  fact,  all  the  disturb- 
ing element  in  the  Class — making  more  or  less  (chiefly  the 
latter)  music  in  the  air.  Greely  and  Newberry  were  elected  to 
the  Record,  and  (after  many  sacrifices  to  the  God  of  the  Strenu- 
ous Life)  Wolfe  and  Sands  to  the  News. 

In  debating,  1906  furnished  the  third  Sophomore  ever  on  a 
University  team — Bergh  winning  the  Thacher  prize  for  the  best 
speaker  in  the  trials,  and  debating  against  Princeton.  Banks 
lead  the  Apollo  Banjo  Club,  A.  L.  Westcott  assisted  the  Gym 
Team,  and  the  Gun  Club  had  to  set  up  new  targets  for  Sturges 
and  Borden.  In  the  realms  of  scholastic  endeavor — the  C. 
Wyllys  Betts  prize  for  excellence  in  English  Composition  went 
to  W.  G.  Robinson ;  Bruce  won  the  Barge  Mathematics  Prize, 
with  Warren  second  and  Fawley  third ;  Bergh  and  R.  M. 
Anderson  were  awarded  honors  in  Sophomore  elocution.  The 
University  Club  began  to  pass  into  our  control,  Corning  being 
elected  Treasurer  and  Turner,  Secretary.  Likewise  in  the 
Dramatic  Association,  Stevenson  became  Vice  President  and 
Brooks,  Treasurer.  In  the  Musical  Clubs  Association  Stevenson 
was  elected  Manager,  with  Sprague,  Recorder  of  the  Glee  Club. 
Dustin,  occupying  a  similar  position  in  the  Banjo  Club,  was 
said  to  be  of  the  "highest"  authority.  Shortly  after  this 
Harrington  was  elected  to  the  Record. 

From  this  enumeration  of  varied  achievements  we  would 
turn  for  a  moment  to  the  foundation  of  the  firm  of  Gurleyburg 
and  Warnerstein,  but  time  "presses,"  and  we  must  hasten  on 
a  brief  journey  through  the  Hutch.     Here,  on  the  fifth  floor, 


Sophomore  Year. 

is  that  den  of  creative  genius  from  which  developed  the  Codille 
Club,  with  its  watchwords — "Fair/'  "Stinking's  good,"  etc. 
(For  further  information  as  to  origin  apply  to  Lout,  Phormio, 
Scratch,  Married  Man  or  King  Goodhart.)  But  descending 
farther  still  we  come  to  that  marvellous  suite,  to  the  furnishing 
of  which  "Moose"  contributed  an  organ,  "Wils"  a  canary 
bird  and  "Shev"  a  combined  bulletin  and  blackboard.  On  the 
latter,  midst  batting  averages  and  Codille  remarks,  we  find 
from  newspaper  clippings  that  Shevlin  won  the  hammer-throw 
at  the  Harvard  meet,  got  second  in  the  Intercollegiates,  and 
then  went  abroad  on  the  International  Team.  MacKay  pitched 
on  the  Baseball  Team,  and  knocked  a  home  run  at  West  Point. 
(N.  B.  The  ball  is  yet  to  be  recovered.)  O'Brien  and  Bruce 
Smith  also  helped  the  team  out.  In  the  Inter-Class  games, 
Shevlin,  Stevenson,  P.  T.  White  and  Banks  secured  places. 

Towards  spring  the  various  elections  began  to  be  held.  Flinn 
became  Captain  and  Goodyear,  Manager  of  the  Hockey  Team; 
E.  White  was  elected  Assistant  Manager  and  Banks  Secretary 
of  the  Football  Association,  and  in  the  Baseball  Association 
Turner  and  Magee  were  chosen  for  similar  positions.  In  track 
Sands  and  Cowles  were  elected  ;  Moorhead  became  Secretary 
of  the  Crew.  Dwight  Hall  claimed  Magee  as  Vice  President, 
Twichell  as  Secretary,  and  P.  T.  White  as  Librarian.  Greene, 
after  corralling  all  ads  east  of  the  Rockies  for  the  Courant, 
became  Assistant  Business  Manager,  and  the  News,  after 
taking  Hall  and  Squire  on  the  Board,  organized  with  H.  R. 
Wilson,  Chairman ;  Perrin,  Business  Manager ;  Van  Tassel, 
Assignment  Editor.  Then,  in  a  burst  of  frenzied  oratory, 
McClintock  disposed  of  the  Fence  to  the  younger  generation. 

So  passed  Sophomore  year.  Try  as  a  historian  may,  he  can 
only  hope  to  call  to  mind  certain  events  in  a  more  or  less 
mechanical  way.  The  true  pleasures — the  games  at  Mory's ; 
the  singing,  summer  evenings,  on  the  Hutch  steps  ;  and,  above 
all,  the  loyal  friendships — these  can  live  only  in  memory.  And 
may  that  memory  ever  be  green !  In  Freshman  year  we  learned 
what  class  spirit  meant  to  a  disunited  mass  of  individuals. 
Despite  our  separation  during  Sophomore  year  by  a  lack  of 
proper  dormitory  facilities,  that  spirit  still  survived,  yea  even 
flourished.     But  most  important  of  all,  it  developed  into  some-

thing  larger — that  indefinable  something  which  we  call    "Yale 
spirit,"   whose  essence  is,  that  when  a  man  can,  he  must. 

"The  hours  have  struck  that  ne'er  shall   come  again, 
We  hear  the  great  world  calling  and  we  go ; 
God  help  us  to  make  good  in  thoughts  like  men 
And  manly  action,  what  to  Yale  we  owe."

As  the  weaver  from  his  machine  sees  only  the  warp  and 
woof  of  a  tapestry  and  knows  not  the  pattern  on  which  the 
beholder  gazes,  so  Junior  year,  or  any  other  period  of  college 
experience,  appears  much  differently  to  us  now  that  we  are 
gazing  on  this  collection  of  retrospects  known  as  the  Senior 
Class  History,  than  it  did  when  those  events  were  in  the  making. 
To  pursue  the  simile  still  farther,  as  each  beholder  gains 
different  impressions  from  the  same  design,  some  declaring 
that  color  rich  which  others  consider  tawdry,  some  being  led 
afar  into  fields  of  imagination  while  others  find  nothing  but 
an  unsuggestive  outline,  so  Junior  year  has  left  a  different 
impress  on  each  one  of  us. 

However  different  these  impressions  may  have  been,  it  is 
in  the  deep  underlying  experience  which  was  common  to  us 
all,  that  Yale  life  owes  most  of  its  value.  All  the  familiar 
Yale  lessons  which  preceding  classes  have  learned,  and  which, 
let  us  hope,  will  be  instilled  into  classes  to  come,  were  more 
deeply  felt  in  Junior  year,  I  take  it,  than  in  any  other  year. 
Though  for  a  harrowing  while  we  were  apt  to  place  too  much 
stress  on  personalities,  looking  more  for  manner  than  achieve- 
ment in  our  classmates,  and  trusting  more  to  promise  than  to 
performance,  yet  at  the  end  of  Junior  year  we  all  felt  that 
Yale,  indeed,  had  led  us  up  to  all  the  promise  of  Senior  year 
that  had  been  made  to  us  by  those  who  had  already  tasted  of 
its  joys.

Junior  Year. 

Just  why  it  is  that  Junior  year  receives  from  successive 
classes  fewer  votes  than  any  other  for  the  most  enjoyable 
year  of  the  course,  is  a  reason  which  we  believed  to  be  inherent 
in  certain  things  peculiar  to  Yale.  Nevertheless,  we  all  feel 
that  the  lesson  in  democracy,  in  fair  judgment  of  our  fellows,  in 
seeking  for  the  things  which  run  deep  and  overlooking  the 
externals,  are  indeed  cheaply  purchased  at  the  price  of  any 
heartburnings  enduring  but  for  a  minute. 

The  first  occasion  on  which  the  Class  gathered  together  in 
Junior  year  was  on  October  12,  when  after  waits  enlivened 
by  the  Codille  harmony  whose  sweet  music  was  just  beginning 
to  cast  its  spell  through  the  Class,  the  Junior  Prom.  Committee 
was  elected  as  follows:  B.  D.  Smith,  chairman;  J.  A.  Steven- 
son, floor  manager ;  S.  Turner,  E.  White,  W.  S.  Moorhead, 
J.  G.  Magee,  G.  Ely,  H.  R.  Wilson  and  D.  A.  McGee.  On 
October  26,  the  Class  made  a  notable  reform,  by  voting  to 
allow  Sheff.  representation  on  the  Prom.  Committee.  This 
change  will  mean  much  to  the  future  life  of  the  University. 

Saturday,  November  12,  we  journeyed  down  to  Princeton, 
the  wise  ones  with  ham  sandwiches  in  their  pockets,  to  see 
Yale  defeat  our  ancient  friends  from  New  Jersey  by  the 
gentlemanly  score  of  12  to  o, — decisive  but  not  exultant. 
Saturday,  November  19,  we  put  away  thoughts  of  such  meagre 
things  as  ham  sandwiches,  and  entertained  our  fair  friends 
with  hot  birds  and  such,  while  our  triumphant  team  again 
insisted  on  the  propriety  of  12  to  o  as  the  correct  score,  and 
Harvard  provided  the  object  lesson.  On  that  team  none  was 
more  famous,  more  admired  for  his  playing,  nor  more  talked 
about  by  the  girls,  than  our  own  Tom  Shevlin,  unless  it  was 
that  Prince  Henry  of  Navarre  who  needed  no  helmet  to  act  as 
an  oriflamme  when  plunging  in  the  thickest  of  the  fray — the 
Napoleon  of  football,  Foster  Rockwell.  Two  other  Juniors  who 
donned  the  sacred  "Y"  for  the  first  time  were  Rex  Flinn  and 
Lydig  Hoyt.  The  submerged  eleventh  at  the  bottom  of  the 
pile,  who  nobly  bore  the  brunt  of  the  season's  development, 
had  for  members  from  our  Class,  Erwin,  Heaton,  Leggett,  Mills, 
Stevenson,  Turner,  Twichell,  P.  White,  MacKay,  Prendergast 
and  Schermerhorn. 

The  aforesaid  Rockwell  no  sooner  deserted  the  turf  of  the 
football  field  than  he  struck  the  boards  of  the  basketball  floor.

Junior  Year. 

With  Humpstone,  Anderson,  Barrows,  Jamison,  Fawley,  Leg- 
gett,  Ogle,  Barton,  Weyman,  Reed,  and  Monzani  he  began 
trying  for  that  wonderful  Christmas  trip  through  the  hospita- 
ble South.  It  may  not  be  out  of  place  to  say  right  here  that 
on  March  23  the  basketball  team  wound  up  a  successful  season 
by  electing  Rockwell  captain.  From  a  mere  hankering  to  go 
on  the  Southern  trip,  to  captain  in  the  same  year  shows  what 
strict  training  will  do  for  a  man  in  basketball. 

Leaving    the    athletic    for    the    aesthetic,    we    note    that    on 


THE    JUNIOR    PROMENADE    COMMITTEE. 

Tuesday,  December  13,  the  French  Club  produced,  in  College 
Street  Hall,  Moliere's  play,  "George  Dandin,"  with  notable 
success.  C.  E.  Andrews  and  F.  H.  Markoe,  Jr.,  were  leading 
members  of  the  cast,  while  J.  B.  Brinsmade  as  assistant  man- 
ager contributed  largely  to  the  success. 

On  Monday,  December  12,  occurred  the  one  loss  from  our 
ranks  of  Junior  year.  Stanleigh  Winslow  Macgurn  died  on 
the  afternoon  of  that  day  at  the  infirmary  from  appendicitis. 
That  respect  for  his  personality  spread  as  far  as  his  acquaint- 
ance was  but  natural  in  view  of  his  manliness  and  simplicity  of 
character.

History  of  the  Class  of  1906. 

After  everybody  had  recovered  the  use  of  his  right  fore- 
arm from  the  hearty  greetings  and  ''Bully,  thank  you.  How 
was  yours?"  which  was  not  peculiar  to  Junior  year,  on  return- 
ing from  vacation,  the  Class  settled  down  to  give  the  best 
Prom,  which  Yale  has  ever  had.  So  all  the  papers  said  that 
year,  and  so  they  say  every  year ;  but  we  all  know  which  year 
really  was  the  best.  "Settled  down''  to  do  itself  proud  at  the 
Prom,  is  hardly  the  correct  phrase,  however,  any  more  than  it 
is  to  say  that  a  duck  has  to  settle  down  to  get  along  in  the 
water.  If  ever  a  class  took  to  fussing  like  George  Alden  to 
football,  that  class  was  1906  in  its  Junior  year.  With  char- 
acteristic enterprise  the  committee  had  contrived,  through  the 
kindness  of  Mrs.  Thomas  G.  Bennett,  to  have  the  Junior  tea  held 
in  what  is  probably  the  handsomest  residence  in  New  Haven. 
The  Prom,  concert  on  January  24  served  to  give  us  a  pardon- 
able sense  of  pride  in  our  classmates,  when  we  discovered  to 
our  astonishment  that  the  cards  hurled  from  the  Freshmen 
above  were  sad  recasts  of  the  original  wit  which  we  had  once 
hurled  at  1904.  On  the  24th  came  the  great  event.  Those 
who  were  there  are  glad  of  it,  those  who  were  not  there  are 
sorry  for  the  omission.  That  ought  to  make  the  problem  of 
whether  we  are  going  to  have  a  Prom,  or  not,  easy  to  coming 
classes. 

Just  whether  one  of  our  most  popular  classmates  was  really 
one  of  us  or  not,  was  a  question  which  had  been  troubling  the 
football  authorities  much  since  the  close  of  the  season.  Their 
trouble,  however,  was  solely  because  of  the  nicety  in  the  tech- 
nical question  involved,  not  at  all  because  our  class  lacked 
extraordinary  material  for  any  honor  which  Yale  football  may 
bring  with  it.  The  question  which  had  been  troubling  the 
football  authorities  was  settled  in  a  manner  distinctly  Yale- 
like, and  the  record  of  Captain  Shevlin,  who  was  elected  on 
January  25  of  the  Junior  year,  has  left  a  notable  impress  on 
the  list  of  things  done  well  according  to  the  Yale  standard. 
With  a  green  team,  and, — but  why  relate  history  or  chronicle 
opinion  which  are  common  to  everyone  acquainted  with  the 
record  of  the  Yale  football  team  under  Captain  Tom  Shevlin. 

On  January  27,  new  honor  was  brought  to  456  Fayerweather 
when  the  other  roommate,  Bruce  Smith,  was  elected  captain 
of  the  golf  team.     On  the  same  date  one  of  the  old  familiar

characters  of  Yale  tradition  passed  away — "Pop"  Smith,  who 
even  in  his  failing  years  had  made  himself  a  familiar  char- 
acter to  us,  will  follow  a  Yale  team  through  no  more  sea- 
sons. With  his  death,  even  though  we  were  so  much  less 
acquainted  with  him  than  had  been  preceding  classes,  we 
felt  that  Yale  had  lost  one  of  the  figures  who,  though  singly 
almost  strangers  to  us,  yet  collectively  stood  for  Yale  tradi- 
tion and  all  that  it  implies. 

Though  the  Berkeley  Oval,  once  known  to  fame,  had  been 


J±  Quiet  Tikb  o»r 

Tub      Qvai 


cut  up  into  building  lots,  the  Codilles  soon  revived  the  name 
by  giving  the  local  circus  an  entirely  new  fame.  What  with 
foolish  bands  and  queer  processions,  life  on  the  oval  became 
a  seat  at  a  perpetual  three-ring  circus.  That  flippancy  might 
not  seem  to  reign  supreme,  mysterious  wires  were  strung  from 
White  to  Berkeley  and  along  window  ledges  on  both  sides. 
Business  was  conducted  on  strictly  modern  methods,  and  many 
of  us  rooming  near  some  "Central"  station  found  it  necessary 
to  pull  wires  to  keep  np  with  the  push.  Some  of  the  wires 
were  attached  to  telegraphic  instruments,  whose  owners  per-

haps  foresaw  that  next  season  even  the  football  team  will  be 
using  the  Morse  code. 

On  Monday,  February  20,  the  Class  honored  the  following 
five  men  with  places  on  the  Lit.  board,  who  shortly  after  their 
election  organized  as  follows :  John  N.  Greely,  chairman ; 
D.  Bruce,  financial  editor ;  J.  H.  Wallis,  book  reviews ;  John 
S.  Newberry,  memorabilia ;  S.  M.  Harrington,  editor's  table. 
In  line  with  the  characteristic  common  sense  of  1906  the  new 
board  signalized   its  year  by  instituting  that  eminently   sound

change    of    having    a    separate    competition    for    the    business 
managership. 

After  having  played  victoriously  the  entire  season  the  hockey 
team  with  a  Junior  captain  and  manager  lost,  through  Har- 
vard, an  exciting  game  at  St.  Nicholas  Rink  on  February  18 
by  a  score  of  7  to  1.  Just  what  the  team  as  well  as  the  whole 
University  thought  of  our  captain  was  shown  on  March  9, 
when  Rex  Flinn  was  unanimously  re-elected  captain.  Need- 
less to  say  he  immediately  reappointed  as  manager,  Goodyear. 
Other  Juniors  who  distinguished  themselves  on  the  team  were 
Marcus  and  Rowland.

Junior  Year. 

Those  of  us  who  who  were  fortunate  enough  to  have  been 
at  the  News  banquet  on  March  10  well  know  how  much  of 
inspiration  was  derived  on  that  occasion. 

April  5,  6,  7  saw  what  was  perhaps  the  best  production  the 
Dramatic  Association  ever  gave,  A.  W.  Pinero's  play,  "The 
Magistrate."  L.  H.  Tooker  and  F.  H.  Markoe,  Jr.,  scored 
decisively  in  two  of  the  leading  female  parts. 

On  April  io,  Linonia  gave  over  its  welfare  for  the  coming 
year  to  the  following  Juniors:  C.  H.  Banks,  H.  Beal,  L.  O. 
Bergh,  D.  Bruce,  G.  Ely,  C.  W.  Goodyear  Jr.,  A.  B.  Gregory, 
I.  S.  Hall,  W.  P.  Hall,  E.  S.  Mills,  W.  S.  Moorhead,  F. 
O'Brien,  L.  J.  Perrin,  F.  H.  Rockwell,  M.  B.  Sands,  J.  A.  Stev- 
enson, S.  Turner,  J.  H.  Twichell,  E.  White,  and  H.  R.  Wilson. 
The  ceremony  took  the  form  of  a  banquet,  and  those  who  were 
gastronomic  as  well  as  wise  were  able  to  take  in  also  the 
Dramatic  Association's  banquet  across  the  street  at  the  Tont. 

On  April  14,  L.  O.  Bergh  won  the  Ten  Eyck  prize  in  the 
Junior  competition  with  a  paper  on  "1904  in  Colorado." 
The  other  contestants  were :  H.  Beal  and  C.  Greene,  both  of 
whom  wrote  on  "Tenement  House  Reform" ;  C.  B.  Van 
Tassel,  "Mazzini" ;  and  A.  L  Westcott,  "Sam  Houston." 
Continuing  along  the  intellectual  line,  let  us  chronicle  the  work 
of  the  debating  team.  On  December  12,  it  had  won  the 
Princeton  debate  in  Xew  Haven  with  a  team  on  which  Bergh 
served  as  alternate.  The  previous  year  had  seen  that  vara 
avis,  an  Academic  man  on  a  debating  team,  and  this  year  was 
to  be  no  exception.  Our  class  broke  a  long  record  in  furnish- 
ing such  a  man. 

May  5,  however,  Harvard  won  the  debate  at  Cambridge, 
thereby  giving  the  critics  a  chance  to  make  comparison  of 
Harvard  brain  and  Yale  brawn. 

The  springtime,  however,  is  associated  in  the  minds  of  most 
all  of  us  with  out-of-doors.  Sailing,  tennis  and  golf  divide 
with  the  major  sports  of  track,  baseball  and  rowing  most  of 
our  time.  The  former  have  given  rise  to  many  of  the 
pleasantest  memories  which  we  hold  of  the  year,  while  the 
latter  have  always  been  made  at  Yale  a  source  of  the  utmost 
benefit  and  pleasure. 

In  track  the  Class  has  never  been  represented  by  very  many 
members.     In  the  relay  games  held  on  April  29th  Yale  made 

— 3.V- 


History  of  the  Class  of  1906. 

a  most  remarkable  record,  winning  the  one  and  two-mile  relay 
races  and  losing  the  four-mile  event  to  Michigan  by  a  bare 
two  yards.  Shevlin  and  B.  Moore  were  the  only  Juniors. 
Previous  to  this,  however,  on  April  15,  the  Juniors  had  won 
the  Inter-Class  Meet.  Injudicious  people  might  whisper  that 
the  points  were  supplied  by  Sheff.  Juniors,  but  that  is  no 
fact  to  be  mentioned  in  this  book.  On  Saturday,  May  13,  the 
track  team  journeyed  down  to  Princeton  for  their  annual  prac- 
tice, winning  this  time  by  a  score  of  80  to  24.  B.  Moore  won 
second  in  the  880  yards  run,  Shevlin  second  in  the  hammer 
throw  and  P.  White  first  in  the  shot  put.  The  following 
Saturday  Stevenson  and  P.  White  both  won  their  "Ys,"  the 
former  winning  second  in  the  high  hurdle  and  the  latter  second 
in  the  shot  put.  Shevlin  also  secured  second  in  the  hammer 
throw.  Yale  was  again  victorious  by  a  score  of  65%  to 
38^5.  At  the  Intercollegiates  we  lost  the  meet,  as  the  world 
knows,  by  2^2  points.  But  the  world  does  not  know  that  the 
only  apparent  reason  for  the  loss  is  that  Mike  Murphy  passed 
a  nigger  funeral  on  his  way  down  to  the  Trials,  Friday.  It 
was  on  that  Saturday  that  we  first  learned  that  Yale  athletic 
teams  were  to  lose  their  guide,  philosopher  and  friend.  Shev- 
lin won  third  place  in  the  hammer-throw  in  the  Intercollegiate 
Meet. 

The  crew  started  its  official  season  with  the  Spring  Regatta  on 
the  13th  of  May.  Though  our  club  crew  defeated  the  Seniors, 
we  lost  in  the  final  heat  in  the  championship  race  to  the  1908 
third  crew.  On  the  Annapolis  crew,  which  according  to  tele- 
scopic searches  through  the  fog  was  defeated,  Weeks  pulled 
his  usual  strong  oar.  When  the  crews  went  up  to  New  Lon- 
don, Chase,  Weeks,  W.  D.  Harris  and  Low  went  along  with 
them.  The  part  taken  by  these  men  in  the  final  race  of  the 
year,  when  one  of  the  best  crews  Harvard  ever  had  was 
defeated,  is  too  well  known  to  need  chronicling. 

Amid  all  the  proud  stories  of  Yale  athletics,  there  is  none 
which  we  like  more  to  linger  over  than  that  of  the  baseball 
team  of  1905.  The  team  that  can  come  back  after  an  18  to  2 
defeat  by  Princeton  is  worthy  of  the  highest  possible  praise. 
On  that  team  none  was  more  distinguished  for  steady  play- 
ing than  Frank  O'Brien,  who  at  the  close  of  the  season  was 
unanimously    elected    captain.     Bruce    Smith    and    Erwin   also 

—34— 


Junior  Year. 

played  their  parts  as  befitted  members  of  such  a  team.  Scores 
that  should  be  printed  indelibly  on  every  Yale  mind  are  the 
3  to  2  and  the  8  to  5  victories  over  Princeton  and  that  wonder- 
ful tie  game  followed  by  the  winning  of  the  baseball  champion- 
ship when  Harvard  was  defeated  7  to  2,  on  June  27  at  the 
Commencement  game. 

Along  with  Commencement  came  some  of  our  happiest 
memories  of  Yale.  The  laments  of  Seniors  that  they  had  not, 
like  us,  yet  another  year,  made  us  realize  that  these  gladdest 
are  just  as  truly,  the  shortest  years  of  life.  For  the  first  time, 
perhaps,  we  began  to  look  at  past  years  at  Yale  in  the  golden 
haze  of  perspective  which  will  predominate  in  the  future. 
Then  it  is  that  events  assume  their  personal  true  proportion  ; 
the  trivial  becomes  the  important,  and  the  commonplace,  once 
of  seeming  prominence,  finds  its  true  level.  If  this  short 
sketch  may  furnish  a  palette,  however  imperfect,  from  which 
each  may  sketch  his  own  recollection,  then  its  mission  will 
have  been  fulfilled. 

Such  thoughts  began  to  come  to  us  for  the  first  time  at  the 
end  of  Junior  year.  But  we  did  not  consider  them  so  earnestly 
then  as  now,  for  our  minds  were  turned  to  another  year  in 
the  spot  where  we  had  first  learned  to  appreciate  one  another. 

"For  joy  of  one  day's  voyage  more, 
We  sang  together  on  the  wide  sea, 
Like  men  at  peace  on  a  peaceful  shore."

Last  scene  of  all 


As  many  men  grown  old  and  knowing  the  sure  approach  of 
death  act  with  more  kindliness  towards  their  relatives,  friends 
and  acquaintances,  so  we,  in  Senior  year,  knowing  the  sure 
parting  that  comes  soon,  find  the  time  only  too  short  for  fellow- 
feeling  and  friendship.  We  are  about  to  make  the  great 
plunge — "We  are  going  away,  but  before  we  go,  we  have  some- 
thing to  say"  to  each  other.  We  say  it  in  Senior  year.  It  is 
only  then  we  can  say  it.  It  is  only  in  Senior  year  that  the  rest 
from  struggle  begins  for  most  of  us.  It  may  be  a  flaw  in  our 
system  that  true  democracy  cannot  exist  until  three  years  have 
passed,  but  more  than  likely  the  flaw  is  in  us  and  the  com- 
plaint could  be  made  under  any  system.  All  we  knozv  is  that 
there  is  good  feeling  and  democracy  in  Senior  year,  and  that 
the  last  college  year  is  the  best  of  college  life.  We  have  felt 
this  year  a  little  inclined  to  cease  troubling  about  the  problems 
which  we  have  not  solved.  We  have  tried  to  do  our  duty,  but, 
after  the  first  few  months  of  Senior  year,  surely  we  had  done 
our  share.  Now,  especially  that  the  year  is  nearly  over,  we 
feel  that  we  deserve  a  little  rest — a  little  loafing — and  much  of 
hearty  fellowship. 

Every  class,  of  course,  has  the  inviolable  right  to  think  itself 
the  best  that  ever  existed.  There  is  no  use  in  disputing  this 
point;  the  "grand  old  class"  idea  is  as  firmly  lodged  in 
the  soul  of  every  true  Yale  man  as  a  fossil  Brachiopod  or  any 
other  pod  in  its  surrounding  rock.  When  this  conviction  is 
backed  up  by  facts,  it  is  a  noble  spirit ;    in  other  cases,  it  is 


-36-

merely  amusing.  Of  course,  in  the  class  of  IQ05,  such  spirit 
was  altogether  pitiable.  We  should  be  the  last  to  sneer  at

case, — 

Well  if  there  are  any  doubts,  consider  first  the  football  sea- 
son last  fall.  The  prospects  were  decidedly  blue ;  all  the 
papers  said  so.  In  spite  of  this,  Shevlin  went  right  ahead  with 
the  work,  until  Yale  had  one  of,  if  not  the  most  powerful 
offensive  teams  ever  seen  on  the  gridiron.     Every  opponent  met

defeat  and  Yale's  clear  title  to  the  championship  was  estab- 
lished by  the  Princeton  game,  twenty-three  to  four,  and  the 
Harvard  game  six  to  nothing.  Everything  was  blue  then,  too. 
Our  Senior  representation — Flinn,  Hoyt,  P.  C.  Smith,  Steven- 
son, Turner  (dare  we  say  Erwin?)  and  Shevlin — must  be  given 
the  main  credit  for  the  victory  ;  but  the  conscientious  work  of 
Rockwell  must  not  be  forgotten.  His  work  was  a  great  factor 
of  the  team's  success.  The  team,  for  its  wonderful  spirit  and 
success,  and  the  captain  for  his  leadership  of  such  a  team,  we 
shall  be  proud  to  remember.     The  excellent  work  of  the  cheer

leaders,  B.  D.  Smith,  A.  W.  Andrews  and  Dousman,  must  not 
be  left  unnoticed. 

In  the  other  branches  of  athletics  we  have  been,  or  will  be, 
well  represented  this  year.  In  hockey  Yale  barely  lost  the 
championship  to  Harvard.  Captain  Flinn,  Marcus  and  Row- 
land were  the  1906  representatives  on  the  team.  Three  of  this 
year's  basket-ball  team, — Captain  Rockwell,  Humpstone  and  E. 
A.  Anderson — are  of  our  class.  But  the  less  said  about  a  painful 
subject,  the  better.     Let  us  not  open  a  healed  wound.     Though

at  the  time  of  the  present  writing  the  track  meets,  baseball 
games  and  boat  races  are  yet  to  be,  we  hope  for  the  best,  and 
feel  sure  1906  will  do  its  part.  In  tennis,  Field  has  upheld 
the  honor  of  the  class.  He  and  his  partner  were  runners-up 
in  the  championship  doubles. 

In  other  lines  may  be  mentioned  the  Christmas  trip  of  the 
musical  clubs  which,  this  year,  was  remarkably  successful. 
Stevenson's  management  was  responsible  for  the  large  surplus — 
a  consummation  devoutly  to  be  wished,  but  rarely  attained.

sperger,  Mills,  Brinsmade,  McGee,  Ely  and  Dickinson  were  the

Bruce,  W.  D.  Harris  and  Westcott  of  the  Mandolin  and  Banjo 
Clubs. 

The  Pundits  have  been,  perhaps,  more  active  than  usual  this 
year.  Under  their  auspices,  Dr.  Root  gave  a  lecture  on  the 
preceptorial  system  at  Princeton,  and  Professor  Phelps,  on 
March  6,  the  centennial  anniversary  of  the  birth  of  Mrs. 
Browning,  delivered  a  lecture  on  the  life  and  work  of  the  great

on  the  team  which  is  to  meet  Harvard.  Bergh  is  one  of  the 
alternates  and  narrowly  missed  a  position  on  the  team.  Phi 
Beta  Kappa  has  made  a  good  move  in  creating  a  committee  of 
information  to  meet  personally  all  men  who  have  a  reasonable 
chance  of  election  to  the  society.  It  is  hoped  by  explaining 
the  aims  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  and  the  benefits  to  be  derived  from 
it,  that  scholarship  will  be  improved  in  the  college.  Professor 
Wheeler  delivered  again  his  famous  Waterloo  lecture  under 
the  auspices  of  the  society.

History  of  the  Class  of  1906. 

The  play  to  be  given  by  the  Dramatic  Association  is  Shake- 
speare's Henry  IV,  Part  L  The  Seniors  in  the  cast  are  Van 
Tassel,  Brooks,  Wescott,  Prendergast,  and  La  Vie.  Steven- 
son is  president  of  the  Association  and  I.  S.  Hall  is  manager. 
Brinsmade  is  stage  manager.  The  plays  given  by  Le  Cercle 
Francais  this  year  were  "Le  Baron  de  Fonrchevif"  and 
"L'Avocat  Patelin."  Their  performance  on  January  20th  was 
a  decided  success.  Before  ending  this  paragraph,  the  unusual 
bustle  and  enthusiasm  of  the  whist  team  must  be  mentioned, 
and  what  an  inspiration  it  is  to  see  the  gigantic  Dunlap  and  the 
redoubtable  Koehler  leading  off  with  their  lefts. 

The  prosperity  of  the  magazines  this  year  has  been  remark- 
able, at  least  in  a  financial  way.  The  Lit.  under  the  masterly 
management  of  Bruce  has  even  surpassed  the  Courant  in  pages 
of  advertisement,  which  is  saying  a  great  deal  when  Greene's 
business  energy  is  considered.  The  proposition  to  bind  the 
ads.  under  a  separate  cover  has  been  indignantly  rejected  by 
both  magazines.  The  Lit/s  competition  for  business  manager, 
a  sixth  place  on  the  board  without  the  honor  of  Chi  Delta 
Theta,  was  started  under  the  regime  of  the  nineteen-six  board 
and  has  proved  a  success.  In  literary  merit,  the  Lit.  has  main- 
tained its  usual  excellence.  The  Chi  Delta  Theta  competition 
was  fair ;  triangles  were  awarded  to  Clarke  and  Wescott. 
The  proper  literary  reputation  for  logical  action  was  maintained 
by  Newberry.  On  one  occasion,  being  under  some  financial 
strain,  he  sold  a  new  twelve  dollar  set  of  books  at  Judd's  for 
six  dollars.  On  the  way  to  the  door  with  his  treasure,  he  was 
struck  with  the  beauty  of  an  eight-dollar  set,  which  he  pur- 
chased, paid  for,  and  went  out  smiling.  The  Courant  has  made 
a  decided  improvement  in  interest  and  style  over  last  year. 
The  glories  of  the  News  should  not  be  forgotten ;  its  column 
"The  World  at  Large,"  its  increased  size,  its  conscious  and 
unconscious  humor  and  its  literary  merit  are  greatly  appreci- 
ated. The  nineteen-six  board  has  really  done  a  great  work. 
The  Record,  it  is  alleged,  has  been  very  good  this  year. 

The  elections  of  class  officers  and  committees  were  held  in 
the  austere  and  dignified  manner  which  has  been  a  character- 
istic of  our  class  in  its  seniority.  The  meetings  opened  with 
restrained  and  almost  religious  cheers  for  chairman  Wilson, 
after   which   the   solemn   strains    of     "King,    King,"     vibrated 

—42— 


Senior  Year. 

musically  through  the  meeting  room.  In  such  a  serious  pro- 
cedure were  our  officers  chosen.  Fowler  was  elected  Secre- 
tary ;  Wallis,  Poet ;  Perrin,  Orator.  The  Class  Day  Committee 
is  composed  of  Dustin  (chairman),  Borden,  Chase,  Moorhead 
and  E.  White.  The  sparkling  McClintock  was  elected  His- 
torian. MacKay,  for  his  gastronomic  powers,  was  chosen 
chairman  of  the  Supper  Committee,  with  Sturges,  Hall,  Flinn 
and  Gorham  for  assistants.  The  Triennial  Committee  is  Per- 
rin (chairman),  Cowles,  Flanders,  Brinsmade  and  Grant.  The 
class  showed  its  discriminating  ability  in  electing  Ely  (chair- 
man), Shevlin  and  Clarke  to  the  Cup  Committee.  The  Ivy 
Committee  is  Rockwell  (chairman),  Wilson  and  Magee ;  the 
Cap  and  Gown  Committee,  Eddy  (chairman),  Goodyear,  and 
Cooke ;  the  Picture  Committee,  McGee,  Thatcher  and  Fusser 
Gurley.  Later  the  Academic  Seniors  on  the  Senior  Prom. 
Committee  were  elected  as  follows:  Rockwell  (chairman), 
Andrews,  Flanders,  Dustin,  Goodyear,  Gregory  and  Dousman. 
Of  new  works  accomplished  or  attempted  this  year  by  the 
class  of  nineteen-six,  the  organization  of  college  city  govern- 
ment clubs  and  their  amalgamation  in  one  central  body  is  the 
most  important.  This  is  a  movement  which  seems  sure  of 
good  results, — far-reaching  results.  A  great  deal  of  credit  is 
due  to  the  men  who  have  made  the  movement  a  success.  The 
trip  to  Washington  made  by  the  delegates  of  the  different  col- 
leges, and  the  cordial  and  informal  reception  tendered  them  by 
President  Roosevelt,  gave  a  stimulus  to  the  work  of  the  clubs. 
Moorhead,  Wilson  and  Dodge  were  the  Seniors  who  took 
the  trip.  Moorhead's  election  to  the  presidency  of  the 
united  clubs  was  a  fitting  acknowledgment  of  his  work  in 
the  movement.  Of  the  works  unfinished  but  attempted  by  our 
class  this  year,  the  proposed  system  of  Freshman  clubs  is  the 
most  important,  and  if  carried  out,  the  most  beneficial.  In 
brief,  it  was  proposed  that  the  whole  Freshman  class  should 
make  up  one  club  which  should  be  divided  into  four  smaller 
clubs.  The  smaller  clubs  were  to  have  separate  meeting  rooms, 
while  for  the  whole  organization  there  was  to  be  a  main  hall 
with  a  stage  at  one  end.  A  restaurant,  and  billiard  and  pool 
tables,  were  also  intended.  The  club  rooms  were  to  be  in  the 
basement  of  Dwight  Hall,  but  this  plan  was  found  impracti- 
cable.    At  present  nothing  is  being  done,  but  it  is  hoped  that  in 

—43— 


History  of  the  Class  of  1906. 

the  near  future  these  plans  will  be  carried  out.  The  good 
effects  that  would  follow  from  organization  proposed  are 
manifest. 

In  closing  a  history  of  Senior  year  it  may  be  proper  to  cast 
a  glance  toward  the  future.  We  look  on  ourselves  while  under- 
graduates as  more  truly  Yale  men  than  we  shall  be  in  the 
future.  We  naturally  think  now  that  when  college  life  ends 
we  lose  in  considerable  degree  our  purity  of  Yaleness — become 
somewhat  less  Yale  men.  The  outside  world  does  not  think 
so.  When  we  leave  here,  our  external  influence  as  Yale  men 
begins.  We  become  Yale's  representatives  at  the  courts  of  the 
world.  Yale  will  be  judged  by  us.  If  we  love  our  college, 
we  must  maintain  her  fair  name  by  our  lives.  Let  us  think  of 
ourselves  after  graduation  as  more  Yale  men  than  ever,  men 
exerting  an  influence  from  Yale  and  for  Yale.  Let  us  make 
our  influence  the  more  felt  by  keeping  ever  with  us  the  true 
Yale  spirit  of  determination,  but  determination  regulated  by 
honor  and  fair  dealing  toward  all  men.

NECROLOGY 


Stanleigh  Winslow  Macgurn  was  born  in  Toronto, 
Canada,  on  October  27,  1884,  the  son  of  Foster  Mac- 
gurn, an  insurance  agent,  and  Fannie  (Raiford)  Mac- 
gurn. His  preparation  was  at  Detroit  Grammar 
and  High  Schools,  Hyde  Park  High  School,  Chicago, 
and  at  Thacher  School.  Macgurn's  residence  when  he 
entered  Yale  was  Oswego,  N.  Y.,  and  at  the  time  of 
his  death  it  was  Milwaukee,  Wis.  In  Freshman  year 
he  roomed  at  192  York  Street  and  333  York  Street, 
in  Sophomore  year  with  H.  L.  Ward  at  172  Farnam, 
and  in  Junior  year  with  Ward  and  J.  L.  Fawley  at 
256  Lawrance.  Macgurn  was  active  in  religious  work, 
being  a  member  of  the  Oak  Street  Boys'  Club  Com- 
mittee Freshman  year.  He  sang  second  bass  on  the 
Freshman  Glee  Club.  During  the  fall  term  of  Sopho- 
more year  he  engaged  in  the  News  Competition.  His 
Junior  appointment  was  a  Second  Colloquy.  In 
December  of  Junior  year  he  was  taken  sick  with 
appendicitis,  and  died  at  the  Yale  Infirmary  after  a 
very  brief  illness,  on  December  12,  1904. 

His  death  came  as  a  great 
shock  to  his  classmates,  and 
those  who  knew  him  best 
realized  how  clean  and  sincere 
a  life  had  gone  out.  For  in 
Stanleigh  Macgurn  were  ster- 
ling qualities  of  character, 
zeal  for  the  right,  the  impulses 
of  praiseworthy  purpose,  a  great 
desire  to  play  a  man's  part  in 
his  college  and  in  the  world. 
Life  was  sweet  to  him.  By 
his  death  our  class  and  all  Yale 
have  been  made  poorer.

Necrology 


In  these  last  days  of  our  life  as  undergraduates,  our 
thoughts  instinctively  turn  back  to  one  whose  sudden 
death  in  Freshman  year  deprived  us  of  a  beloved  com- 
rade. Andrew  Parker  succumbed  to  a  severe  attack 
of  appendicitis  on  July  9,  1903,  at  Mifflintown,  Pa. 
Mifflintown  had  for  some  years  been  the  summer  home 
of  the  family,  and  there  Andrew  was  born  February  1, 
1883,  to  Edmund  Southard  Parker,  president  of  the 
National  Metropolitan  Citizens  Bank  of  Washington, 
D.  C,  and  Mary  Isabelle  (Wilson)  Parker. 

After  three  years  at  Andover  he  completed  his 
preparation  for  college  at  Hotchkiss.  It  was  at  school 
that  many  of  us  had  the  privilege  and  distinction  of 
his  friendship.  He  added  to  a  noble,  cheerful,  upright 
character  the  most  engaging  personality.  Open- 
hearted,  sympathetic,  manly  and  generous,  he  won  and 
held  the  warm  friendship  of  all  with  whom  he  came 
in  contact.  He  was  loved  for  his  clean,  wholesome 
nature ;  admired  for  his  knowledge  of  men  and  his 
rare  gift  of  leadership. 

It  was  not  given  that  he  should  graduate  with  us, 
but  when,  in  time  to  come,  we  look  upon  our  college 
days,  and  live  over  again  its  happy  experiences,  there 
will  stand  out  among  the  famil- 
iar scenes  the  face  of  one  whose 
memory  will  live  to  be  an  endur- 
ing inspiration.

On  the  graduation  of  the  Class  the  average  age  will  be  22 
years,  10  months  and  6  days,  or  for  the  sake  of  those  who  are 
•taking  the  course  in  statistics,  it  will  be  exactly  22  years,  10 
months,  5  days,  14  hours,  24  minutes  and  10  seconds.  This 
average  compares  very  favorably  with  other  classes.  It  is 
2  months  and  5  days  less  than  the  average  of  the  Class  of  1905, 

—399— 


History  of  the  Class  of  1906. 

and  we  must  of  course  allow  for  the  increase  of  average  caused 
by  the  number  of  men  who  joined  our  Class  in  Senior  year, 
having  already  graduated  from  other  institutions.  1906  is 
really  a  heavy-weight  Class,  although  the  average  falls  some- 
what below  1905.  From  the  rope-pulling  contest  in  our  Sopho- 
more year  we  may  deduce  the  fact  that  in  more  than  one  sense 
"to  the  losers  belong  the  pounds,"  for  the  average  weight  of 
1905  was  15034,  while  our  Class  weighs  in  at  148^4.  The 
average  height  is  5  feet  gy2  inches,  an  increase  of  y2  an  inch 
over  that  of  the  Class  of  1905.  Of  course  we  of  the  Class  of 
1906,  inbued  with  the  "Grand  Old  Class"  idea  of  which  Friend 
Wallis  speaks  (cf.  page  36),  dislike  to  draw  this  constant 
comparison,  but  for  statistical  information  it  is  necessary.  The 
figures  for  the  Class  of  1904  at  graduation  were,  22  years,  1 
month  and  21  days,  and  in  weight  147^4  pounds.  The  average 
height  was  5  feet  yT/2  inches.  Now  comparing  1906  with  the 
last  two  graduating  classes,  we  note  that  our  age  average  is 
higher  than  1904  and  lower  than  1905.  We  out-weigh  1904  by 
a  little  over  a  pound,  but  fall  below  the  average  of  last  year's 
class.  We  are  however  a  tall  race  and  goodly,  for  we  are  taller 
by  2  inches  than  1904  and  1905  gives  way  to  us  by  V2  an  inch. 

Hughes,  45  years,  5  months  and  5  days,  is  the  oldest,  and 
Gow,  19  years,  9  months  and  16  days,  is  the  youngster  of  the 
Class.  Sixteen  men  in  the  Class  are  not  yet  old  enough  to 
vote,  while  three  have  passed  their  thirtieth  birthdays.  In  1905 
twenty  graduated  under  21  years  and  six  men  were  over  30 
years  of  age. 

The  heavy  weights  of  the  Class  are  Robertson  and  P.  C. 
Smith,  each  claiming  222  pounds.  Kent  and  Heaton  are  tied 
for  second  place  with  220.  Johnnie  Dunlap,  with  his  6  feet 
4.y2  inches,  could  easily  look  down  into  the  Herd  and  see  how 
the  Devil  got  into  it.  Downing,  6  feet  4  inches,  has  only  an 
inch  the  advantage  of  Dimock,  so  that  they  too  are  heard  from. 
George  and  Lou  Dole  are  the  shortest  men  in  the  Class  with  5 
feet  2^4  inches  and  5  feet  3^  inches  to  their  credit,  respec- 
tively. A  la  the  Yale  News,  these  two  brothers  of  Connecticut 
Hall  are  far  from  being  sufficiently  tall,  yet  college  men  both 
far  and  near  do  fear  these  wrestling  brothers  dear.  A.  H. 
Clark  and  W.  G.  Robinson  put  in  their  claim  for  shortest  men

in  the  Class, — but  the  muse  of  the  News  refuses  their 
views. 

Three-hundred  and  sixty  men  have  been  enrolled  with  the 
Class.  Two,  Andrew  Parker,  son  of  E.  Southard  Parker,  and 
Stanleigh  Winslow  Macgurn,  son  of  Foster  Macgurn,  have  been 
taken  from  us  by  death.  Fifteen  men  have  joined  other  classes 
in  the  University,  as  follows :  C.  G.  Curtis,  B.  P.  Hamlin,  W.  C. 
Johnson,  H.  R.  Kellogg,  T.  P.  Dixon,  A  G.  Erwin,  H.  H. 
Whittaker,  J.  L.  Mitchell,  T.  G.  Peck,  J.  A.  Vietor  and  B.  D. 
York,  all  of  whom  are  in  the  Academic  Department ;  A.  Fulton, 
G.  B.  Leggett  and  N.  B.  Mayo,  who  are  in  the  Scientific  School, 
and  M.  N.  Nahigan  in  the  Medical  School.  Forty  left  college 
before  Senior  year  to  represent  1906  in  the  bigger  world. 

Of  the  303  men  of  the  Class  now  in  college,  227  are  church 
members,  distributed  among  the  various  denominations  as 
follows :  Episcopal  70,  Presbyterian  48,  Congregational  44, 
Roman  Catholic  15,  Baptist  14,  Methodist  13,  Methodist  Episco- 
pal 4,  Methodist  Society  3,  Disciples  3,  New  Jerusalem  2, 
Cumberland  Presbyterian  2,  and  Universalist,  Evangelical, 
Union,  United  Brethren,  United  Presbyterian,  Missionary 
Baptist,  Lutheran,  First  Baptist,  each  1. 

Two  hundred  and  eight  men  in  the  Class  have  decided,  after 
four  years,  that  compulsory  Chapel  is  good,  while  seven  think 
that  it  should  be  abolished.  The  general  opinion  of  the  Class 
is  that  some  compulsory  Sunday  service  is  necessary,  and  the 
majority  are  in  favor  of  the  Chapel  service  ;  some  for  its  brevity, 
but  the  greater  number  because  of  a  real  interest  in  the  Chapel 
preachers.  The  results  for  the  favorite  Chapel  preacher  are 
Speer  101,  Abbott  35,  Rainsford  25,  Hadley  24,  Mott  17.  About 
a  third  of  the  Class  have  engaged  in  some  religious  work,  either 
in  the  college  or  at  clubs  where  the  main  work  is  done  by 
college  men.  Yale  Hall,  the  Bethany  Mission,  the  Oak  Street 
Boys'  Club  and  other  organizations  of  similar  nature,  have  had 
the  help  of  many  men  in  the  Class. 

We  will  leave  the  votes  which  W.  H.  Harris  secured  for 
greatest  grind  (12  in  number),  to  the  silent  consideration  of 
Harris  and  the  rest  of  the  Class.  We  are  surprised  at  the 
lack  of  support  which  Harris  received  from  his  fellow  members 
in  "Codille."  Surely  some  bolted,  who  must  ever  after  regret 
their  disloyalty.

History  of  the  Class  of  1906. 

Barton  is  said  to  be  the  nerviest  man  in  the  Class,  getting  69 
votes ;  McClintock  coming  second  with  26.  Barton  is  also 
voted  the  most  eccentric  with  38  votes  to  27  for  Markoe.  John 
Magee  received  52  votes  as  the  most  to  be  admired,  and  O'Brien 
is  thought  by  28  to  be  the  Class  Pride.  Shevlin  (141)  and 
Perrin  (28)  have  done  most  for  Yale.  John  Stevenson  and  H. 
Goodwin  are  the  beauties  of  the  Class,  with  55  and  40  votes, 
respectively.  Bruce  Smith  easily  is  the  most  popular  man,  with 
128  votes.  Moorhead  received  27.  McClintock's  witticisms 
impressed  120,  while  Wurts'  victims  number  only  25.  Speak- 
ing again  of  good  looks,  Ely  is  voted  the  handsomest  with  53 
votes ;  Stevenson  received  43.  Moorhead  and  Van  Tassel  are 
looked  upon  as  most  likely  to  succeed  with  51  and  33  votes, 
respectively.  McClintock  is  certainly  the  most  original,  with 
80  votes ;  W.  H.  Harris  and  Markoe  each  receiving  14.  Hoyt 
is  thought  the  greatest  social  light  by  1 1 1  of  the  Class  ;  Bruce 
Smith  scored  46.  Shevlin  is  the  best  all-round  athlete  with 
268  votes.  Bruce  (73)  and  J.  Stevenson  (49)  are  the  most 
versatile  men  in  the  Class.  Gurley,  37  votes,  is  easily  the  big- 
gest fusser;  Mills  being  second  with  15.  Sands  (59)  and 
McClintock  (26)  are  fair  at  bluffing..  Whitcomb  (133)  is  the 
best  dressed  man  in  the  Class ;  the  other  votes  are  scattered. 
Frank  Wilson  and  Hugh  Diller  are  conspicuous  for  their  meek- 
ness, receiving  55  and  47  votes,  respectively.  Hannahs'  class 
nickname  was  confirmed  by  66  men,  who  speak  of  him  as 
"Windy  Hannahs,"  while  Sands  was  second  with  36  votes. 
MacLane  received  118  votes  for  ''Greatest  Grind,"  leaving  Gib- 
son far  behind  with  only  45.  Dimock  is  the  brightest  man  in  the 
Class,  67  votes  to  45  for  Bruce.  MacKay  received  107  votes 
for  the  laziest,  in  spite  of  his  campaign  work  in  behalf  of  P.  C. 
Smith,  who  received  20.  Smith  pulled  up  for  noisiest,  how- 
ever, and  secured  45,  while  Twichell's  Codille  talk  captured 
43  votes ;  Smith's  talk  is  evidently  "good  natured,"  though, 
for  he  secured  51  votes;  Pleaton  and  MacKay  were  tied  for 
second  with  17  votes.  Banks  is  the  hardest  worker  (31)  ;  Van 
Tassel  second  (28).  Van  Tassel  (48)  and  Cowles  {28)  are 
the  most  energetic  men  in  the  Class.  It  is  difficult  to  say  who 
is  the  most  scholarly,  since  Bruce  with  50  votes  is  only  a  small 
margin  ahead  of  Gow  and  Dimock,  who  are  tied  for  second 
with  45  votes  each. 

— 402 — 


Statistical. 

Of  the  253  men  in  the  Class  who  use  tobacco,  48  claim  Bull 
Durham  as  their  favorite.  One-hundred  and  fifty-one  men  in 
the  Class  admit  the  use  of  drinks  other  than  water,  although 
water  was  the  favorite,  receiving  76  votes,  beer  (34)  was  second 
while  whiskey  had  a  hard  time  with  all  temperance  drinks.  In 
the  mix-up  they  each  secured  18  votes.  Twenty-eight  men  in 
the  Class  were  undecided  as  to  whether  wine  or  milk  should 
strengthen  man's  heart,  the  votes  being  evenly  divided. 

For  the  most  popular  college  publication  the  following  votes 
are  recorded:  News,  163;  Record,  50;  the  Lit.,  16;  while 
for  the  most  valuable  the  News  received  173  votes,  the  Lit.  46, 
and  the  Record  3.  Two-hundred  and  nine  men  in  the  Class 
would  prefer  to  wear  a  Phi  Beta  Kappa  key  rather  than  a  Lit. 
Triangle  (37  votes)  or  a  News  badge,  which  was  considered  by 
35  men  to  be  most  desirable. 

The  Dining  Hall  has  accommodated  252  of  the  Class  at  some 
time  during  the  course,  the  majority  of  whom  say  that  it  is 
satisfactory.  The  minority  vary  from  downright  disapproval 
to  a  tolerance  "because  of  the  great  number  of  men  served." 

Princeton  (143),  Harvard  (52)  and  Williams  (21)  are  the 
favorite  colleges  next  to  Yale.  Yassar,  Smith  and  Wellesley 
modestly  step  forward  with  12,  9  and  4  votes,  respectively. 

Our  choice  of  professors  reads  as  follows :  Pleasant  est 
Professor — W.  L.  Phelps  (60),  Phillips  (23),  J.  C.  Adams 
(15),  W.  B.  Bailey  (15);  Brightest— W '.  L.  Phelps  (101), 
Lewis  (29),  Kreider  (25)  ;  Favorite — W.  L.  Phelps  (60), 
Lewis  (55)  ;  Most  Polished — Lewis  (161),  Phelps  (2y)  ;  Best 
Teacher — Kreider  (123)  ;  Best  Lecturer — Wheeler  (60),  Lewis 

(60). 

The  Class  considers  Senior  year  the  brightest  of  these  college 
years,  or  at  least  198  men  present  the  majority  opinion.  The 
lack  of  firm  organization  of  "Codille"  in  our  more  youthful 
days  may  possibly  account  for  the  127  votes  which  are  checked 
up  against  Freshman  year  as  the  most  disagreeable  of  our 
college  course.  The  fact  that  150  men  voted  Freshman  year  the 
hardest  may  account  for  that  year  being  voted  the  most  disa- 
greeable. This  is  logically  followed  out  when  we  note  that  121 
vote  Senior  year  to  be  the  easiest,  Junior  year  following  with  y2 
votes.     Notwithstanding  the  fact  that  Junior  and  Senior  years 

—403— 


History  of  the  Class  of  1906. 

are  considered  easier  than  the  struggle  of  our  first  days  at  Yale, 
we  see  that  as  upper  classmen  we  come  to  a  more  real  under- 
standing of  the  courses  offered  us,  and  their  value.  Physics 
and  American  Social  Conditions  are  considered  the  most  valuable 
electives  with  34  votes  each.  Twenty-nine  men  have  obtained 
more  from  their  English  courses,  28  consider  Economics  as 
most  valuable,  and  following  these  votes  come  Law  courses 
(20),  History  (iS).  Physics  with  53,  and  American  Social 
Conditions  and  the  Course  in  Economics,  each  with  46  votes, 
are  considered  by  the  Class  the  most  practical  electives.  The 
courses  in  Law  received  36  votes.  There  seems  to  have  been 
a  general  understanding  that  since  Physics  received  53  votes  for 
the  most  practical  elective,  it  must  also  be  the  most  difficult,  at 
least  the  Class  so  voted.  Mathematics  (75),  Greek  (32)  and 
Latin  (24),  are  the  hardest  of  the  required  studies.  Where 
the  Class  has  found  the  path  easy  is  not  at  all  in  doubt ; 
History  (54)  and  the  course  in  Biblical  Literature  (20)  have 
been  the  easiest  targets  which  the  Faculty  have  put  up  for  our 
Class.  Of  the  courses  that  the  Faculty  have  required  us  to 
take,  English  (66)  and  French  (28)  have  taken  the  least  of  our 
time. 

The  tastes  of  the  Class  vary,  but  we  must  remember  "De 
gustibus  non  disputandum,"  and  so  when  we  find  the  votes  for 
favorite  courses  scattered  over  most  all  the  elective  pamphlet, 
we  can  merely  list  them  as  far  as  possible.  Nineteenth  Century 
Poets  (31),  Tennyson  and  Browning  (29),  Professor  Lewis' 
course  in  Shakespeare  (21),  American  Social  Conditions  (20). 

There  are  115  men  in  the  Class  who  think  that  we  should 
follow  the  example  of  Harvard  and  make  Greek  an  absolutely 
elective  course. 

A  total  of  252  consented  to  mention  their  political  leanings, 
distributed  as  follows:  Republican,  177;  Democratic,  34; 
Independent,  25 ;  Mugwump,  10 ;  Prohibitionist,  5 ;  Social- 
ist, 1. 

At  the  end  of  a  four  years'  college  course,  especially  when  that 
college  is  Yale,  it  is  interesting  to  us  who  are  about  to  graduate, 
and  possibly  to  those  in  the  classes  under  us,  to  see  what  each 
of  three  hundred  men  obtains  from  such  a  course.  The  ques- 
tion arises  even  in  our  Freshman  year,  as  to  whether  scholarship,

close  application  to  study,  and  some  digging  and  grinding,  are 
worth  more  to  the  man  than  the  associations,  the  friends  and 
the  broadening  of  a  college  education.  At  the  beginning  of 
Freshman  year  possibly  each  one  of  us  made  a  choice  as  to 
which  path  he  considered  the  surest  to  success,  not  financially 
or  socially  speaking,  but  using  the  word  success  in  its  greater 
meaning,  the  successful  effect  of  our  work  on  ourselves.  For 
the  most  valuable  thing  obtained  from  the  college  course,  we 
find  that  160  votes  show  that  the  friends  and  general  associa- 
tions are  of  most  value.  Twenty-five  state  definitely  that  they 
have  obtained  a  wider  knowledge  of  men,  while  eleven  have 
gained  self-reliance.  We  find  that  eighteen  of  the  Class  con- 
sider that  the  educational  advantages  have  been  the  greatest 
help. 

As  we  find  that  the  acquaintances  and  friendships  made  are 
thought  to  have  been  the  most  valuable  effect  of  our  four  years 
at  Yale,  naturally  we  find  also  that  democracy  and  good  fellow- 
ship lead  in  the  vote  for  "the  most  prominent  characteristics" 
of  the  Class.  We  can  safely  count  the  4  votes  for  "Codille"  as 
being  a  sub-heading  for  good  fellowship.  Athletic  ability 
received  20  votes,  while  9  men  believe  that  the  high  morals  of 
the  Class  make  tip  its  claim  to  prominence.

THE  TRUTH  ABOUT  THE  CLASS  VOTE. 

Oh  help  me,  Muse,  to  sing  a  ditty 

Of  things  which  happened  in  this  city, 

Yclept  by  some  to  be  a  town 

(Though  known  to  be  of  great  renown)  ! 

I  call  it  town  or  city  either 

Because  it  makes  no  difference  neither. 

Its  railroad-map  name  is  Noo  Haven, 

But  folks  what  know,  know  that  its  Yalen. 

Well,  anyhow,  in  this  old  College, 

Most  noted  for  Sol'monic  knowledge, 

There  wus  a  Class,  called  Nawty-Six, 

Close  on  to  all  the  learned  tricks, — 

Nose  on  the  trail  and  tail  vibrating, 

It  had  a  supra-classic  rating. 

Its  nick-name  was  Pheu  Betta  Kribba, 

Which  means,    "Oi  flunko  niver,  niver !" 

One  day  this  Class  was  all  assembled 

(Whereat  the  Dean  and  all  Profs,  trembled!) 

To  vote  a   few  on  those,  by  name 

Most  noted  of  the  Class's  fame. 

And  mark  you,  now,  since  I  was  there, — 

Why  I  was  made  the   Secretaire ! 

And  in  a  manner  sage  and  hoary 

I  took  it  down  this  way,  be  gory : 

Beedee    Smith   Most   Popular's 

When   quoting   Homeric   copulars, 

Or  else  when  arguing  profane 

Dutch   triplets   with    our    Grind    MacLane. 

And  now  for  Deacons  the  Class  voted 

And    chose   the    holiest-most-noted ; 

Hank  Damon,   H.    F.    Damon,   both   fine   laymen, 

And  Henry  Damon  and  Hen  Damon. 

Then  Warner,  telephonic  pale, 

Was  voted  as    "Dunned  Most  for  Yale." 

Sands  was  the  Most  to  be  admired : — 

Th'  Dean  only  knows  why  he's  not  fired  ! 

Alf  Thorn,  inexorable  Kusser, 

Of  course  was  voted  the  Class  Fusser; 

But  some  maintained,  as  worser  still, 

That  Erwin  was  Most  Versatile. 

Then   Windy   Hannahs    did   attest 

There  was  but  one  the  Wittiest, — 

His   friend,    Stew   Glazier,   took   first   place 

Because  he'd  such  a  funny  face. 

■ — 406 — 


The  Class  then  nobly  did  its  duty 

And  voted  Terry  Tileston,  Beauty, 

Though  someone  slanderingly  attainted 

And  claimed  he'd  heard  that  Terry  painted. 

Then   Dimock   was   proclaimed   the    Brightest 

Because  he  is  by  no  means  lightest, 

Though  Higgins  laid  a  claim  to  it 

Because,  said  he,    "I'm  mostly  lit"  ; 

Right  here,  John  Greely  threw  a  fit, 

Crying,    "Heavens,  Hig!     Why  I'm  the  Lit!" 

With  further  satire  the  Class  voted 

(And  thereat  one  and  all  they  hooted). 

Most  Energetic  was  Van  Tassel 

Who  quaffs  by  hogsheads  Brooklyn*    wassail. 

Ralph  Wescott,  Barton,  and  Markoe 

Together  make  the   Class's   Zoo : 

For  most  Eccentric  all  three  ran 

And    Barton   proved   the    craziest   man. 

Ralph   and   Markoe   were   minor    factors ; 

Though  both  tried  hard,  they  were  but  actors. 

Frank  Wilson  was  the  Meekest  Man   (?) 

('Tis  strange  with  his  bold  cheeks  of  tan!): 

This  post — with  grace  Riggs  would  embue  it, 

Yet  was  so  meek  that  no  one  knew  it. 

For  Athlete,  Hunt  and  Shev,  a-race, 

Strained   hard   and    Shevlin   won    first   place. 

Phil's   doctor   said   he   had    "heart-fluttering" 

Caused  by  his  long  and  frequent  stuttering ; 

Though   all  know  well   he  could   say    "thistle"' 

If  he  would  only  wet  his  whistle. 

Our  favorite  Pome,  Rushing  the  Bar, 

My  Lord  T.  wrote  t'  be  popular  : 

But  Dunlap's    "gizzard  was  unstirred" — 

For  poems  he  is  just  the  bird! 

Lord  T.  and  Wallis  are  not  in  it 

When  J.  G.  thrums  his  lyric  spinnet. 

When   asked  its    favorite   drink,   the   Class 

For  very  shame  cried  out    "Alas !" 

And  Deacon  Damon  rose  to  say 

"Sweet  Gentles,  come  now,  let  us  spray!'' 

Oh  shame  the  thought !     In   red   September 

Of  Freshman  year,  you  will  remember, 

Unless  you've  mental  aberration, 

We  took  our  pledge  from  Carrie  Nation. 

And  last  we  chose  our  Favorite  Song, 

"Oh   let   me  grind  the   whole   day  long!" 

S.  M.   Harrington.

FINANCIAL 


Of  the  ninety-five  men  who  have  engaged  in  some  remunera- 
tive work  to  aid  them  in  obtaining  a  college  education,  twenty- 
four  have  entirely  paid  their  expenses,  while  of  the  remaining 
seventy-one  a  third  have  paid  more  than  a  half  of  the  cost  for 
the  four  years.  The  many  different  ways  of  earning  money 
may  well  be  listed  as  definitely  showing  that  the  ambition,  and 
energy,  of  the  college  man  is  very  much  alive.  Subscription 
work  for  various  papers,  editing  of  papers,  acting  as  motormen 
on  street  railways,  organ  and  piano  playing,  tutoring  and  teach- 
ing, canvassing  of  various  kinds,  acting  as  insurance  agent, 
hotel  clerk,  waiting  on  table,  surveying,  tending  furnace,  shovel- 
ing snow,  reporting  for  newspapers,  farming,  and  driving 
delivery  wagons  are  some  of  those  mentioned.  One  man  in 
the  Class,  during  one  year  of  college,  tended  furnace,  shoveled 
snow,  reported  for  newspaper  and  waited  on  table.  The  highest 
amount  spent  by  any  one  member  of  the  Class  during  a  college 
year  was  $7,550,  the  lowest  $100.  It  might  be  interesting  to 
note  here  that  the  man  spending  the  first  amount  received  no 
appointment  when  Junior  Scholarship  Appointments  were 
announced.  The  man  whose  item  was  $100  for  the  year  received 
a  First  Colloquy.  One  hundred  and  thirteen  men  in  the  Class 
averaged  over  $1,000  a  year,  that  is  50  per  cent,  of  the  men 
who  estimated  their  expenses.  Thirty-eight  men  or  16  per 
cent,  averaged  under  $500  a  year. 

In  tabulating  the  amounts  spent  it  may  be  more  interesting 
to  compare  the  averages  distinguishing  between  the  various 
Junior  Appointments,  that  is,  the  amounts  spent  by  those  men 
receiving  high  appointments  as  compared  with  the  yearly  cost 
of  living  to  those  men  who  received  the  lower  appointments. 
Before  giving  such  a  table  it  may  be  mentioned  that  the  greatest 
total  expense  for  the  four  years  was  $17,750  (from  a  man  who 
received  no  Junior  Appointment)  and  the  lowest  $550  (a  First 
Colloquy  Appointment  man).

Financial. 

Two   hundred   and  twenty-six  men  handed   in   estimates   of 

their  expenses  for  the  four  years,  and  they  are  divided  among 
the  appointments  as  follows : 

No.  of  Meu      Appointment                    Freshmen  Sophomore  Junior  Senior 

io        Phil.  Oration $    760.00  $    773-00  $   680.00  $   775-00

226  Average $942.00  $996.00       $1,081.00       $1,127.00 

Upon  looking  over  these  figures  it  may  be  seen  that  in  each 
case  the  highest  amount  spent  is  in  the  accounts  of  the  twenty- 
six  men  who  received  a  Second  Colloquy  Appointment.  The 
next  highest  amounts  are  those  of  the  men  who  received  no  Jun- 
ior Appointment.  If  we  take  the  averages  for  the  four  years,  we 
find  that  of  the  Philosophical  Orations  to  be  $731  a  year,  and  the 
average  for  the  lowest  appointment  men  $1,244.  An  average 
yearly  expense  table  for  the  four  years  would  read  as  follows : 

No.  of  Men          Appointment  Average 

26  Second  Colloquy  $1,244.00 

95  No  Junior  Appointment   1,110.00 

27  First  Colloquy  1,078.00 

15  High  Oration  994-00 

15  Second  Dispute   960.00 

1 1  Dissertation  866.00 

14  Oration   791.00 

13  First  Dispute   779.00 

10  Philosophical  Oration    73 1  00 


226  Average  $1,037.00 

It  may  be  that  the  men  who  are  not  inclined  to  study  take 
more  time  for  amusement  and  pleasure ;  it  may  possibly  be  that 
the  men  who  cannot  afford  frequent  theatres  are  more  or  less 
forced  to  their  books. 

The  average  by  years  is  lower  than  the  average  expense  of 
the  Class  of  1905.  The  four  years  average  of  $4,146  is  lower 
than  the  four  years  average  either  of  the  Class  of  1905  ($4,270), 
or  the  Class  of  1904  ($4,369).  These  figures  show  that  Yale  is 
not  becoming  a  rich  man's  college,  and  we  may  well  consider 
this  decrease  as  a  healthy  symptom.
